Memorial Day Weekend Camping with Tristan – West Point Lake, Georgia

Tristan and I will be moto-camping Memorial Day Weekend (5/22/2026 – 5/25/2026) at West Point Lake, Georiga (near LaGrange, Georgia).

We will first deliver the majority of our camping gear via car and setup camp. We then drive back home (DeAndra has to work Memorial Day Weekend). Tristan and I will then ride Bruce (my 2025 Harley-Davidsion Pan America 1250 Special) back to West Point Lake and camp over the weekend.

On Monday, May 25th, 2026 we will reverse the process by riding Bruce home, and then returning to the campsite with the car to retrieve the remaing camp gear.

This weekend will be Tristan’s first time fishing and my first time in over 30 years. We are going to fish for some panfish (bream fish) on Satruday and try for some catfish on Sunday. This time around, we are only going to catch and release this weekend. We are planning on more fishing this summer and maybe try frying some at home (if we catch anything lol).

Motorcycle Luggage & Some Camp Gear Updates 1/24/2026

Overview

A somewhat, sort of, not really brief overview of my motorcycle luggage and some of the new camp gear.  At present, the only two camp items that are carrying over from my previous motorcycle camping trips is my ALPS Mountaineering Tasmanian 2-Person Tent and camp skillet with a folding handle.  Everything else has been replaced with new gear.

The main driver for the new gear is the quest to pack smaller and lighter.  So far, my loadout for Bruce is substantially less than what I would pack for Dexter.  There are still some luxury items and things I could do without, but I’m getting old and comfort is more important.

There are always those who scream you overpack.  While I have overpacked on previous trips, this is much less.  I am convinced that I could only pack a string bikini and someone would scream I am over packing….to which I reply cool, you do you boo! 😊 

I will discuss more about the electronics I am hauling including the HoverAir X1 PROMAX drone later.
